The situation is escalated

So i was riding the train today. Nothing much happened on the train but when I got off I walked to the escalator. I was following a young lady that was very pretty. So pretty that I wanted to ask her for her number. You know it's hard for me to find women near my height that don't have a gaggle of kids. Hey, pretty lady. I want to ask you a few questions. Why is she walking so fast? WTH?! Hard....to....keep up. Skip it. She gets away from me and I notice another lady who apparently thought that wearing slippers on the train was a good idea. Really? On the train? I don't know about you lady but you may want to burn those when you get home.

Anyway, as I get overtaken once again I step onto the escalator and I turn to see who is behind me. An older lady has an empty fold up shopping cart and she tries to wheel it onto the escalator. She quickly find out that the wheel base is wider than the side rails and it slips out of her hand. She panics and turns to retrieve her cart. She takes two steps and reaches for it. The escalator is moving so it is just out of her reach. She takes two more steps and reaches. She repeats this process a few more times until she realizes that she will never catch up to her cart. EVER! Finally she turns and rides all the way up then she walks down the stairs to dislodge her cart. I thought I was watching a Benny Hill marathon for a minute. What is really jacked up is if she is going to the store she will be fucked when she tries to get a FULL cart up the escalator.
